How did world war 1 affect the position of woman in society

History

La Primera Guerra Mundial supuso un avance en la incorporación de la mujer al mercado.

Hasta ese momento había estado relegada a tareas domésticas o acompañar a su marido en los distintos actos sociales. Incluso durante el auge de la Revolución Industrial la mujer quedó relegada al cuidado de los hijos y sólo algunas – en la mayoría de los casos solteras –consiguieron entrar en el proceso productivo, pero siempre relegadas y con salarios inferiores al de los hombres.

La guerra supuso un cambio: por un lado, el reclutamiento de gran parte de la población masculina para acudir al frente, y, por otro, las necesidades industriales derivadas del conflicto bélico, atrajeron a las mujeres al campo laboral.  

La Primera Guerra Mundial crea nuevos papeles para la mujer asumiendo trabajos y responsabilidades en los que antes habían estado excluidas: así, por ejemplo, las féminas que trabajaban en el sector bancario creció de unas iniciales 9.500 a casi  64.000.

La incorporación de la mujer al mercado laboral alcanza unas cifras nunca vistas hasta el momento. Además, asumen trabajos tan dispares como como deshollinadoras, conductoras de camiones u obreras en la industria armamentística. Así entre Francia y Gran Bretaña más de un millón y medio de mujeres trabajaron en fábricas de armamento; mientras en Alemania el 38% de la fábrica bélica Krupp estaba compuesto  por mujeres en 1918.

Uno de los hándicaps que se encontraron las mujeres fue lógicamente la resistencia de los hombres que permanecían en las fábricas. Éstos no aceptaban de buen grado que las mujeres pudieran desempeñar con la misma efectividad algunos de sus puestos laborales. Otra preocupación que tenían es si la disminución del salario con las mujeres podía finalmente perjudicarles. Son, sin embargo, las mujeres las primeras que se movilizan pidiendo una igualación salarial por ley para evitar esta discriminación.

El gobierno francés fue de los primeros que abordó el tema: así en 1915 establece un salario mínimo para las mujeres que trabajaban en la industria textil cosiendo una ingente cantidad de uniformes militares. Posteriormente en 1917 decreta que hombres y mujeres ganen lo mismo por pieza trabajada. Aun así, pese a la intervención gubernamental, al final de la guerra la desigualdad sigue existiendo.

Explaining Why does a natural disaster (drought, flood) in an agricultural region almost always result in higher prices for comm
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer and Explanation:

Natural disasters such as these can cause damages to agricultural products Any region experiencing frequent flooding and drought will have a reduction in productivity level. When this happens, the supply of agricultural products in the region will fall and demand will go up. Based on the law of demand and supply, this will result in the prices of commodities going up.

Drought and flood causes loss of livestock, storage problems, transportation issues and a fall in output. An increase in prices is used to cover up for some of these. An increase in input costs also causes price increase.
